The statues that would have an instant impact on sanctity would be oppressively huge and very prominent. Like the constant reminders of the God's might in the eyeline of everyone in town. Seeing them pulled down would have an immediate impact on Sanctity. A demonic statue in an abandoned underground temple is just decor. The Sanctity there comes from the saturation of centuries of making connection with with a god that permanently affected that place.

In the grand scheme of things pulling down a 20-foot tall demon statue on the alter of an evil temple that hasn't been used in 200 years would have the same impact on sanctity as tipping over the grave marker of the priest who led worship there all that time ago.

Speaking of statues and graves. Graveyards would probably have a lot of sanctity hat could be affected. People invest a lot of faith there. It's despicable but destroying or defacing a graveyard would have a serious impact on the sanctity of an area.
